Augustus Gloop eats himself sick.
Veruca Salt is a spoiled rotten brat.
Violet Beauregarde chews gum day and night.
Mike Teavee is a television fiend.
Charlie Buckett, Our Hero, is brave and true and very, very hungry.
What do these five have in common? Why, they're the luckiest children in the entire world; they've each won the chance to enter Willy Wonka's famous, mysterious chocolate factory.
What happens when the big doors swing open to reveal Mr. Wonka's secrets? What happens when they come upon the tiny factory workers who sing in rhyme? What happens when, one by one, the children disobey Mr. Wonka's orders? In Roald Dahl's most popular story for children, the nasty are punished and the good are deliciously, sumptuously rewarded.

Work Description
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a 1964 children's novel by British author Roald Dahl. The story features the adventures of young Charlie Bucket inside the chocolate factory of eccentric chocolatier Willy Wonka.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was first published in the United States by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. in 1964 and in the United Kingdom by George Allen & Unwin 11 months later.
In the 2012 survey published by SLJ, a monthly with primarily US audience, Charlie was the second of four books by Dahl among their Top 100 Chapter Books, one more than any other writer. Time magazine in the US included the novel in its list of the 100 Best Young-Adult Books of All Time.
